Go down to the variables.tf and go to the github.dev editor. We'll be editing a couple of files, so it's easier to use this editor than the simple editor. The way I like to tackle this kind of work is to start by copying all of the code into the variables file first, and then create variables out of anything that's hard coded, that saves a lot of back and forth with copy and paste.
